    P.S. I grew some Rice on my AU farm and it sell for $20 each.

    or maybe something with apples? or collecting leaves again?

    I was studying about it too. It looks like 4 has something to do with orchards and 5 has something to do with pigs. I can't figure out the 6 though.

    Nice snow job GGS, keeping the rice seeds for 3rd task.

    Knowing for well a lot of people would have planted them in 2nd task searching for the ink paintings.

    Just another way to 'encourage' us to buy gold?

    I think that 6 will be collect origami birds like the fireflys one in the previous task.

    What is rice selling for if you purchase them for 85 gold, does anyone know? I would love it if the developers would give us that info up from rather than having to just buy something before we know what it sells for!

    No reason to 'save' those three seeds. You get 6 more as part of the reward for the next task, and you only need 5 to complete that part of task#3 (less than 5 if you use humus)

    Here's some strategy notes and statistics for completing the Longing for the Far East event -

    Advance warning -

    Consider building temporary level 1 cherry orchards (and associated temporary housing if necessary) for tasks 1 & 5. Happiness does not matter for events, because the goal is to grow or harvest as much as possible, as quickly as possible. The main farm remains profitable even at the worst happiness of 300. Decorations can be placed into storage and retrieved once the event is over.
    Build up stocks of humus and special cabbage for the large amount of cabbage needing to be grown in task 3. Using humus only on crops with high yields is a highly effective strategy as you get much more crop per bag of humus, for example, the standard cabbage yield is 41, so 50% humus gives an extra 21, whereas using it on special cabbage (215) gives an extra 108, about 5 times more, or, to look at it another way, you'd need to use 5 times the amount of humus on standard cabbage to get the same result.
    Save 5 rice seeds from the reward for completing tasks 1 & 2, for task 3.
    Consider building temporary level 1 pig stys (and associated temporary housing if necessary) for task 5.
    Have apple & cherry orchards ready to harvest for task 4.
    Have as much fertiliser as possible available for tasks 1 and 4.
    Have as much corn and as little chicken feed as possible for task 6.

    Task strategy -

    Task 1 - Collect (ie harvest) fertiliser (30/40/50/60/70) & begin production of cherries (1/1/1/2/2). Have fields, coops, stys and byres ready for harvest for task 2. The cherry harvests are needed on task 4.

    Task 2 - Find Japanese ink wash paintings (160/200/260/320/360) from the fields and stables.
    Keep the coops running as much as possible and grow as much corn as possible. Average per hour for a single production facility -
    First running of the event
    
    		Average	
    		finds per	Number of
    		hour		harvests
    
    Flowers		7.8		27
    Corn		8.2		236
    Cabbage		2		6
    Wheat	
    Rice	
    Coop L2		4.3		60
    Coop L5		3.9		41
    Sty		1.2		6
    Byre		1.1		4
    
    Third running of the event
    
    Flowers		7		77
    Corn		6.4		216
    GM Corn		3.3		9
    Cabbage		2.7		3
    Wheat unhumused		0

    Coop L3		3.5		24
    Coop L5		3.8		70
    Sty		0.7		5
    Byre		1		6
    
    Task 3 - Collect (ie harvest) eggs (2,320/3,100/4,500/5,400/6,100), cabbage (1,300/1,900/2,500/3,300/3,800) & rice (970/970/970/970/970) from the fields and coops. 1 rice seed produces 200 in 55 minutes without humus. Consider building extra fields for the cabbage (and associated housing, if necessary). Produce humus for use on the cabbage. Keep as much cabbage as possible in store and unharvested for task 5.

    Task 4 - Find cherry blossom (440/500/600/700/800) from cherry and apple orchards. Average per hour for a single orchard -
    First running of the event
    
    			Average	
    			finds per	Number of
    			hour		harvests
    
    Apple orchard		26.7		7
    Cherry orchard		8.3		2
    
    Third running of the event
    
    Apple orchard L1	17.8		3
    Apple orchard L3	26.7		2
    Apple orchard L4	26.7		2
    Apple orchard L5	26.7		2
    Cherry orchard L1	16.7		1
    
    Prepare for the next tasks by milling enough pig feed and maximising cabbage for task 5, then mill and store the maximum chicken feed possible. Lastly, delay harvesting maximum mill load of pig feed and feeding pigs.

    Task 5 - Start pig production (20/23/29/36/46) & collect (ie mill) pig feed (200/230/290/360/460)
    Prepare for task 6 by having as many things ready to harvest as possible and have as much corn and as little chicken feed as possible so that you can mill chicken feed continuously.

    Task 6 - Find origami cranes (1,000/1,200/1,500/1,800/2,000) from processing and production facilities. Average per hour for a single production facility -
    First running of the event

    resulted in a 10% drop in number of cranes found in corn and a 
    122% increase in those found from milling corn.

    I've included the number of harvests to give some idea of the reliability of the average cranes per hour figure - the fewer the harvests, the less reliable the figure, and the higher the number of harvests, the more reliable the figure.

    I need to analyse task 6 some more, but by luck I discovered that the finds appear to increase as the task progresses the first 23 cranes took 105 corn harvests to find, the next 23 took 84 harvests and the next 23 took 70 harvests. So GGS may have the ability to change the probability of finds on a time basis or based upon the progress made towards a particular target.

    You are welcome Mae Anne^^

    I think you get them from all orchards but i am not 100% sure since i haven't arrived to that task yet,i am still on task 3.

    I think the task would be very hard,almost impossible to do if you were getting them just from cherry orchards.

    I got info about 4th task from a friend,when i found out i will post it here.

    Level 54-56
    Task 1
    Collect 60 Fertilizer, skip for 950 gold

    CORRECTION: Level 56 is collect 70 fertilizer. Either I misread that at 5:00am, or the level breakpoint got changed in the fix that replaced my Logout and Support buttons.

    The cherries and the reward are the same for both levels.

    Task 2
    Level 56: Find 360 paintings; reward 50XP and 6 rice seeds
    Level 54: Find 320 paintings; reward 40XP and 6 rice seeds
    Skip for 1650 gold for both.

    Thanks for sharing - just have one question - do we get a Japanese ink wash painting by every harvest/collection from the farm? Some times I get painting's and sometimes I don't....
    What's your experience?

    I got paintings just from animal stables and fields,not a single painting from windmill,silo,composter or orchards.

    For fields and stables, the chance of a painting seemed to be about 1-in-3 to me. They certainly don't appear every time.

    Nope; they're almost totally random. That's why it says "find" instead of "collect".

    I am very amused by the cow painting; so very not Asian in style, but very cute nonetheless! ;D

    If you open up the task, on the right hand side there is the show me button/skip for gold button/ question mark button. The question mark will tell you what you need to do, you only get ink paintings from fields and stables. Hope this helps 8)
